Manta Race UPDATE, COLOR ADD
I’m so in for this build off. I’ve wanted to do one for a while but the timing never worked out. I’m a huge fan of power block TV and any other car build show. One in particular that I liked was Wrecks to Riches. The premise of the show was to take a muscle car era beast and restore it using today’s technology. This is what I will base my build on. I will be taking a muscle bike era machine and restore it with today’s technology. I want to build this bike the way I think it would have been done had the technology been available.

Re: Manta Race
Is the disc brake in the background a hint?

Re: Manta Race
